He feels however there is nothing to be feared at the moment - if there were he would have heard from David Asante (admittedly he is away now on a long joiurney) and from Werner in Abetifi. If he hears anything about the Juabens having bought powder and lead in Amanokrum/Akwapim he will make this known.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.08.1877 Proper date: 13.08.1877 Description An account of the resource The first three pages report the development of the Juaben affair. The Governor had said in his letter that in the event of trouble he could not extend protection to the Abetifi missionaries. Dieterle repeats that so far as he knows no trouble is in sight, but asks the Akwapim, Akim and Kwahu missionaries to let him know as soon as anything occurs to suggest that trouble is on the way. Dieterle had written to the Abetifi missionaries that they were not to allow themselves to be captured in any event, and that they would not be chased once they were in the protectorate. The king of Juaben is in prison at the moment because instead of settling near Koforidua as the Government wanted him to, he sent 60 ounces gold to King Taki of Accra in order to secure arms through Little Popo. On 7th August District Commissioner Reinecker came to Aburi in pursuit of the Queen Mother of Juaben escorted by an officer and 40 men. He stayed for several hours at the Mission Station in Aburi, asking Dieterle to act as an interpreter if he caught up with the lady in Mampong. It turned out, however, that she had gone on to Akropong. Message was sent to Akropong then that the Akroponghene was answerable for making sure that the Queen Mother went no further. The next day the Akroponghene brought her (Afrakuma) to the Mission House in Akropong, and invitied her up onto the veranda, whereupon her party were surrounded by soldiers. Reinecker asked the Akroponghene whether he knew that the Juabens were preparing to go to war against the Asantes, and that they had got themselves powder and lead, to which the Akroponghene replied that he did know. On Aug 9th the party returned to the Aburi Government quarters, and Dieterle saw the Queen Mother ('she is of middle age, and a looks very clever - as the District Commissioner said "She is a cunning woman"). She had been allowed her own serving women,and carriers, but the District Commissioner brought the King of Akropong and his men as far as Aburi since he feared an attempt by the Juaben people to rescue her. Dieterle adds that the imprisoned ‘King’ Asafogei is only the regent - when King Boateng died the heir was too young to be made king. Now he is imprisoned with his sister in Kumasi and this is the fundamental reason for the desire of the Juabens to fight with the Kumasis.

All is quiet there, and no-one grudges the Juabenhene his fate since he is if anything worse than the king of Kumasi. Captain Hay with 100 Hausas has come through Abetifi looking for the smuggled powder and preparing to be a position to hinder the Juabens if they move forward.

They brought back with them several horses, donkeys, and a number of cows, though unfortunately they forgot to bring a bull. Unfortunately the animals do not seem to like the air in their new homes. Asante reports that his cow is already dead, and Opoku and Kwabi report the same about several cows and donkeys. Abetifi received a horse and 2 donkeys, but sadly one of the donkeys is lost already. Perhaps they were overstrained on the journey back from Salaga.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 12.10.1877 Proper date: 12.10.1877 Description An account of the resource Includes the point that though the Governor had summoned the Okyenhene and his supporters to Christiansborg on 1st November, he was hoping that the case would be settled peaceably between the parties so that this would not be necessary. The Akropong missionaries had sent Kwabi as their representative to mediate but Ata had refused to entertain him in this role. People fear that Asante has gone too far in opposition to Ata. Some missionaries think all would be solved if the Okyenhene heard that a white missionary was to be stationed in Kibi again, but Buck himself does not think so — he once say the Okyenhene when he came in (the Christiansborg mission compound presumably) to buy something, and reckons he is not a very intelligent chief.

In April the ‘Commandant’ from Accra travelled through Aburi on his trek into Akira to arrange land for the settlement of the Juabens. He seemed happy that all was well, but Dieterle’s observation is that large numbers of Juabens are carrying palm-oil for the Akwapims, hundreds pass the mission station in Aburi daily. He has spoken with many of them, and they have no intention of going to settle at Koforidua - he quotes a conversation with one man who said that the Asantes had killed 5 members of his family, and his ambition is revenge.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 28.01.1878 Proper date: 28.01.1878 Description An account of the resource Includes the point that Buck has arrived on the station, as has Cat. Anoba and pastor (deacon) Nath. Date. The numbers in the Christian community have risen from 56 to 108 (Kibi alone) with 80 communicants, 3 non-communicants, 25 children and 11 catechumens. In the boarding school are 49 pupils. Kukurantumi: Cat. Tete has been appointed to Kukurantumi as journeying preacher. The number of members in the community had increased in the year from 36 to 57, with 28 communicants, 3 non-communicants, 26 children and 19 catechumens. There were 23 pupils in the school. In Kibi several of the Christians have settled on the station or were building there. Cat, Mullings was transferred to Asiakwa, Sam Gyima ran away after playing a notable part on the side of the King in the disturbances and the subsequent court action. Anoba was posted to Akim to settle at Apedwa, but the disturbances interfered with that plan. Oware was specially assigned to preaching journeys and had spent time giving the Apapam Christians their early baptismal instruction. During the year 10 people had moved away from Kibi, and 1 had died. 6 Christians moved to Kibi, however. 4 children were born to Christian parents, and 49 people were baptised. 4 children, 39 men, and 6 women, (10 were from Apapam, at one stage there were 13 catechumens at Apapam, but 3 lapsed). Among the women is a cousin of King Ata - her Christian name was Susanna. This modest woman has already had to suffer a lot at the hands of the king, when it became known that, like her husband, she had decided to become a Christian. Ambassadors came from all over Akim (or, an embassy came from all the elders of Akim) to try to change her mind. When she refused the king took every opportunity to taunt her singing after the local custom “A princess has gone down the hill'. She wants to become a Christian and join the people who used to be slaves.’ Her reply to this was to point to Queen Victoria. They threatened to expel her from the royal family, and at the gathering of elders in September, at which Asante was so badly handled, she was formally expelled – at one time there were threats that she would lose the property she had inherited from her mother. This sort of persecution has been repeated in all the places with Christians - those at Apapam, Asiakwa, Abomosu and Asunafo have all suffered more or less. As a result, people in villages are asking urgently for land to be bought for them so that they can make separate villages. The rumour is now that since the Okyenhene has failed to drive out Asante, he will seek opportunities to poison the Christians. The religious life of the community, Asante reports that those who can read the bible regularly - and people have learned to pray as a group when the occasion warrants. In terms of speaking the truth and being industrious the life of the community is less than good. In the course of the year Asante himself travelled 21 days, his catechists etc. 169 days. Between then they preached in about 50 towns and villages. The same evening as the invasion of the station 8 men came to them from Abomesu to celebrate the Sunday with them (the riot took place on a Saturday).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 09.07.1877 Proper date: 09.07.1877 Description An account of the resource 5 young men of the village of Apinaman (South of Kibi) have announced themselves as catechists. Preaching in Kibi is suffering from a great decrease in population due not only to the effects of the Emancipation, but also to many families moving out into farming villages. Because of this, and other circumstances, the Okyenhene has travelled to the coast to ask advice of the regime. It is much to be deplored that he is losing the respect of his people. He, on the other hand, nurses a secret hatred against the Christians, believing that their leaving his town for the mission station is a contributory factor to his difficulties.
